Rice

33 Comments:

When ricing, the ONLY way to kick it is with Basmati rice (white). One cup rice, two cups water, a dash of salt, a glob of butter or margerine, and a dash of dried chicken stock. Bring it up to a boil, cover, let it steam on low for 15-20 minutes, let stand off the heat for another 10-15 minutes to absorb the remaining water- easy. Basmati rice has such a lovely nutty flavor- you won't go back to boring old long grain rice ever again.

To get it relatively cheap, look for it in the bins at Coops or whole food stores- don't waste your money on those teeny boxes at the supermarket.

My family absolutely loves Thai Jasmine rice, they won't eat anyhing else now. Some people think it's pricey but I can usually find a 10lb bag on sale for about $5, and 10lbs of rice lasts us quite a while.

Short-grained brown rice: Comes out sticky, so you can eat with chopsticks.

Rinse and put any reasonable amount in the bottom of a pressure cooker. Cover with water so that, when you touch the top of the rice with your little finger, the fingernail is covered with water. (Works with any amount of rice and anybody's fingernail).

Bring to pressure and cook for 40 minutes. Take off heat and let sit for 15 minutes. The Japanese say, "Wait 15 minutes even if the baby is crying".

I'm Asian, and my mother always made mochi (sticky or "sweet") rice stuffing to go with the turkey. It has Chinese sausage (lup cheong), celery, mushrooms, and onions, sometimes canned water chestnuts. This is a fairly common side dish in Hawaii.http://starbulletin.com/2005/11/16/features/story03.html

I recently added some counter space to my kitchen and bought a toaster and a $15 rice cooker. I went to a local Indian grocery and got some basmati rice (2 10-lb bags for $15, they probably had cheaper brands but there were no visible prices for the rice). It's very good, much better than Safeway rice.

I also bought an assortment of curry pastes (Laziza and Patak's brands) and have been eating my own version of "curry" (sauteed or simmered meat and veggies with a yoghurt and curry paste sauce added at the end).

I tried something similar with coconut milk and Mae Ploy green Thai curry paste but it didn't come out as well.

The 8GB version is only being sold through Google's own store, rather than physical retailers - but online buyers appear to have shunned it, surprising Google, which had thought that the cheaper version, despite having only half as much storage, would sell better than it has. The flexible screen technology that will soon be available to us will be the tool that finally turns users away from paper based publishing.

The Roku when you first start it up after connecting it to the internet and your TV or monitor has several channels but each one is only a few clicks away to install and over the internet the installation is very easy using an account.
